Squamish Adventures

Today I went on an adventure to Squamish. My brother rock climbs so we went to Smoke Bluffs which is in the town limits. It was the perfect day to be outside.

I didn't end up climbing, but I did look for a geocache, unsuccessfully. I knew where it was and dug around the ground, but couldn't find the tupperware container.  Darn!  At least I tried.

When I wasn't geocaching, I hanged around the climbing group. There are many places along the way where you can climb, and there were a lot of other climbers enjoying the nice day.  I want to take rock climbing classes one day!  Didn't feel confident about doing this one even though I have rappelled before.

Never to young to learn something new

 We left in the afternoon so Aaron could have his naptime in the car.  While we were in Squamish, I noticed a lot of cyclists.  Squamish is a popular area for Mountain Biking.  I also saw a lot of road bikes on the Sea to Sky Highway.  That would be a neat trip to do, biking from Whistler to Vancouver- at least 100 kms I think.  I'd stop along the way and do some geocaching.  I'd take the bike on the bus to Whistler, stay at the HI hostel there and bike back.  Hmmmm, sounds like a great idea to me!  Anyone one to join me? ;)

After we enjoyed some Gelato  in Squamish, we then drove out to where the parasailers are. I took some quick photos and we headed home. We took the scenic Marine Drive when we hit Horseshoe Bay.  I really love West Vancouver!

We ended the day with some burgers and beer.  Tomorrow I'm off to the island to visit with parents before returning to Vancouver next week.
